Welcome to the CERES! You are now under arrest!
Did you think the glitches were over? Boy, were you wrong! Through the last remnants of the digital kerfluffle, the latest batch of recovered code has manifested in CERES' computer systems as the guilty parties. Yes, that's right, all incoming arrivals are now placed on the wanted list, accused of having committed the heinous crime of creating and releasing the gorg0n virus all over Cerealia. These vicious twelve have been working together all along and conspiring against CERES, and it's now up to everyone to figure out if the new arrivals are truly guilty or if they are as innocent and confused as they claim.
In the meantime, CERES has dispatched assassination droids to stop the accused and bring them to justice via disembowelment. So while CERES rushes to stop the droids from committing murder, characters are perfectly welcome to a.) soil themselves b.) fight off the droids c.) run while soiling themselves or d.) cry a lot. e.) ask for assistance!
"ASSASSINATION MODE: ONLINE
OBJECTIVE: ELIMINATE THE ACCUSED
TIMEFRAME: 24:00 HOURS
JUDICIAL UNIT-00345 DISPATCHED"

//SCENARIOS.EXE
PHASE I [ 00 01 ]
It's a minute passed midnight, and the newest sets of recovered code are being spat out of ViViD and into Cerealia. Before the joyful reunions begin, an announcement starts blaring through everyone's computer screen, TV sets, devices, billboard screens, and so on. The image flashes with twelve names and twelve pictures along with a list of crimes each person has committed. They continue to flash again and again throughout the colony, alerting everyone of these heinous criminals. It's up to anyone if they want to engage them or stay far, far away from these perverts and miscreants.
As the arrivals begin to explore, they will see themselves plastered on just about every screen imaginable.
PHASE II [ 200 ]
It's still dark outside, hardly anyone out and about. It's the perfect time for an assassination attempt because that's when the information is received and processed by Cerealia's judicial system, but this isn't a job for any ordinary donut-eating cop. No, this is far greater than that. They bring out the big guns.
Twelve assassination droids, clad in armor and carrying katana, are immediately dispatched and sent to take out each of the accused at any cost. Characters are welcome to do any of the above choices while veterans to Cerealia can assist the arrivals, assist the droids, or just sit back and watch others suffer. It's completely up to you. They can also run into the droids on their search and try to interact with them.
PHASE III [ 700 ]
Your friendly CEO has finally gotten his ass out of bed, but by then, who knows how many people are left alive? After hearing of the kerfluffle, he decides to issue a cease and desist on the assassination droids, and instead, has his investigation units step in to confirm that the new arrivals are not guilty of any of the crimes and charges listed under their name. They will be pulled aside for painful, painful questioning before being released to explore as they wish.
To make up for all the damages and trauma incurred from the near-death attempts, Julius will also be giving the new arrivals a settlement of 20,000 credits each, so go out and party.
PHASE IV [ 1200 ]
By noon, the incident has been cleared up with little to no blood spilled (hopefully). New arrivals are welcome to explore and enjoy their new living arrangements or possibly lie in bed and just cry some more. Either way, welcome to the magic that is Cerealia. The CEO will announce that the last of the virus has been officially cleaned up and taken care of, and he'll be issuing a video with a public apology for all.
BONUS [ whyo'clock ]
Among the police droids dispatched, there will be a rehabilitative droid in a dinosaur suit, looking to cure the criminals of their improper behavior and their moral indiscretions through the power of LOVE and HUGS. It was developed after the researchers in CERES did extensive research on other worlds and found that this mystical creature was capable of creating worldwide joy and cheer. It will be chasing those who are on the Wanted List exclusively, but it will not stop at just them. Your character will be accosted and hugged whether they like it or not.

no subject
[That's where she thinks Tenka is wrong-- after all, her family was from the deep, deep sea, with no human interactions. There were stories, yes, warnings of the dangers when traveling the open ocean.
Later, when she thinks back over this conversation, she'll remember the story of how her grandparents met thanks to human involvement and think on the uncomfortable implications of a world with no humans. But for now she just sneers before huffing as she draws herself up.
She's a tiny thing at 5'3'' (and a half, thankyouverymuch), but she lifts her chin and regards him with narrowed eyes.]
Why? Why care? Why bother? Am nothing to you and can offer nothing.
no subject
Well, then I think those few very good humans are important. I'm glad you met them.
[Though now at the mention of why he cares... he just blinks before he shrugs.]
I'm not asking you to offer me anything. I just think that family's the most important thing in the world. If I can help you get back to them or give them a good life, then I will. If you don't trust me, that's alright. But if you ever need help, I'm offering it.
no subject
Very mermaid-like thing to stay. [There's some reluctant approval there and she drops her hands to her hips, sighing deeply. Families were everything to her people, hence why they stayed or joined family clans or started their own. Mermaids on their own were rare.
She thinks of her brothers and sisters, the ones she left behind and the new ones that might have been born in her captivity; it made her heart ache uncomfortably and after a moment she makes a loud noise.] Bah! Told you, humans annoying! Poking nose where it does not belong! Do what you want. Can not stop you.
[Oona looks at him, trying to keep her feigned annoyance.] Did not even introduce yourself. Rude.
no subject
Glad you approve then.
[Because his brothers are his entire world.
Still though, when she makes a loud noise he's just laughing good-naturedly in response.]
If you say so then! But I didn't figure that knowing my name would make a difference. I'm Kumou Tenka - but you can call me Ten-nii or Aniki, if you want.
no subject
[Of course, that means she has to give her name now too.] Oona. Just call me that. Ani...ki?
[Weird name. She shakes her head and runs a hand through her hair with an air of resignation. So she's saddled with another weird human. Great.]
Spent too much time talking. Will be targeted soon-- they are looking for new arrivals. Keep head down, do not be so stupid and yell at screens.
no subject
[Still though he doesn't sound too bothered. Then he just chuckles and grins.]
Don't worry too much about me. I'll manage, I'm sure. Though I guess that probably means you shouldn't hang around me right now if you want to avoid trouble.
no subject
But he's right at that, the last thing she wants is to get caught up in this craziness, especially since Oona's not a target to begin with. She still looks surprisingly reluctant as she steps back though.]
...Make good point. Will leave. [She pauses, looking like she wants to say more; at length she scowls, looking angry that he's making her feel feelings how dare he, and snaps at him] Do not get killed! Do not be stupid! Had this entire conversation, only for you to die? Would be angry! So do not!
[YEAH TAKE THAT. And with that said, Oona runs off, huffy]
